Simulation Modeling Production Processes of Various Types of Machine-Building Enterprises

Abstract

The article considers the main methods of simulation modeling, their applicability and approaches to simulation modeling production processes of manufacture and logistics systems of machine-building enterprises. The types of manufacture and logistics systems of machine-building enterprises are described. Their main classification features are pointed out such as the number of operations performed at one workplace, the variety of nomenclature as well as types of production processes. The features of simulation modeling production processes in mass and serial production are determined. The prospects for the use of operational scheduling systems in conjunction with simulation systems for machine-building enterprises of a serial type are shown. The main differences are considered in the use of simulation modeling and operational scheduling systems for assessing the feasibility of a production program. The existing software solutions for simulation modeling production processes of various machine-building enterprises are analyzed and the potential advantages of their use in conjunction with operational scheduling systems are described. An approach to the formation of simulation models of manufacture and logistics systems with a combined type of production is proposed, the use of which allows increasing the adequacy of modeling manufacture and logistics systems with various types of production.
